SPRAYEE.. i

To all 107mm t may concern: f Be it known that I, GEORGE `W. LrsK, facitizen of the United States, residing at Clifton Springs, in the countyof Ontario and State of New York, havevinvented certain new and usefulImprovements Sprayers, of which ,the following is aspecilication,reference being had lto the accompanying drawings.

This-invention relates tov certain. improvements in sprayers and hasrelation more particularly to a device `of this general characterespecially designed and adapted for use in connection wit `liquiddisinfectant or other liquid adapted to be distributed in a comminutedcondition, and'it is an object of the'invention to provide al novel andimprovedA device of this kind comprising a liquid tube and an air tubetogether with means for effectivelymaintaining adjacent end portions ofsaid tubes in requisite assembled relation. e

Another object of the invention is to pro,- vide a novel and improveddevice of this general character wherein the air tube or mouth piece hasdisposed therethrough a bore substantially elliptical in cross sectionand of the same dimensions from one end to the other. l

It is also an object of the invention to provide a device of thisgeneral character with a novel and improved bracket adapted to engagethe adjacent ends of the liquid tube and the air tube for maintainingsaid tubes in desired relation and in a strong and effective manner.

The invention consists in the details of construction and -inthecombination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved sprayerwhereby certain important advantages are attained and the devicerendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient andadvantageous for use, as will be hererinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in perspective illustrating aspraying device constructed in accordance with an embodiment of myinvention;

Application med octber 23, 1924. seriaiNo. 745,448'.

ings, I denotesa liquid or lifting tube of accompanying drawdesireddimensions and which is adapted'to be inserted inthe well-known mannerwithin the liquid to be distributed or sprayed. As-

sociated with the upper or outer endy portionl 'A of the tube 1 is theair tube or mouth piece Y 2. This tube or mouth piece 2l-is fiat/tenedfrom end to end in a manner to provide ja substantially elliptical bore.This rbore 'is also of substantially the same dimensions through itslength. y,By this form of tube or mouthV piece its applicationv withinthe.

mouth of the user is facilitated and at the same time a moreeiectiveblast of air may be forced therethrough. When in assembled irelation the adjacent ends of vthe tubes 1 and 2 are arranged with theupper or outer end of the tube 1 at substantially the axial i center ofthe tube or mouth piece 2.

As herein disclosed, the adjacent end portions of the tubes 1 and 2 arerigidly maintained in desired assembled relation through the medium ofthe bracket B. This bracket B, as herein disclosed, is formed from anelongated blank 3 having its extremities correspondingly beveled, as at4. The end portions of the blank 3 are bent back to overlie theintermediate portion ofthe blank 3, as is particularly illustrated inFigure 3, with the beveled extremities in'close'relatio-n one to theother. The bend 5 for one of the return portions 6 is enlarged toprovide a tube or barrel which is snugly engaged with the upper vorouter end portion of the tube 1 while the bend 7 for the second returnportion 6 is formed into the relatively broad sleeve to receive thedischarge end portion of Y the tube or mouth piece 2.

It is to be understood, however, that after the blank has been formed asillustrated in Figure 3 the intermediate portion of Ithe blank proper is.bent or folded along a line between the opposed beveled edges 4 tobring the sleeve 7 above the barrel 5 with the bore of the sleeve 7substantially perpendicularly related to that of the barrel 5.

After the tubes 1 and 2 have been properly engaged with the bracket B,suitable pressure is brought upon the bracket B to cause 1 the barrel 5and the sleeve 7 to have close contact With the-tubes l and 2 wherebysaid tubes are rigidly maintained in desired as-,

' it is to be understood that special tools are employed but as thesetools form no part of the present invention it is thought that adetailed description and illustration thereof is unnecessary.

By connecting the tubes l and 2 by a bracket-in accordance With theinvention as herein disclosed, the use ofsolder is avoided and therebythe disadvantages incident to such use is eliminated. Furthermore, asprayer is provided Which is of `materially increased strength anddurability andrwhich may be employed to the best advantage.

F rom the foregoing description it is thought to be obviouskthat asprayer constructed in accordance With my invention is particularly Welladapted for use by reason ofthe convenience and facility With whichit'may be assembled and operated, and it Will also be obvious that myinvention is susceptible of some change and modification Withoutdeparting from the principles and rssavis spirit thereof and for thisreason I do not Wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precisearrangement'and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingout my invention in practice except as' hereinafter claimed. I Y

I claim A spraying device comprising a liquid tube, an kair tube, and abracket for connecting the adjacent end portions of said tubes, saidbracket being formed from an elon-l gated flat strip of material havingits opposite end portions bent back to overlie the intermediate portionof the strip, the extremities of said returned portions beingcorrespondingly beveled, theL intermediate portion of the strip beingfolded along the line between the opposed beveled edges to bring Y thebends forthe returned portions in substantially perpendicular relation,the bend forone of the yreturned portions being enlarged to provide abarrel to snugly receive an end portion of 'the air tube, the bend forthe second returnedportion being formed into a sleeve to snugly receivean end portion of the liquid tube.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature. .1 K
